Introduction

Live training for Lean and TPM practitioners


Seven-day certificate training for lean multipliers and TPM experts, who take on a new role in the practical implementation of lean.

Lean continues to be the foundation for many of the new challenges in our factories! But how can lean successes, once achieved, be sustainably established? And how can new and young employees be introduced to the tried-and-tested methods?

This training takes place in cooperation with three organizing companies. These companies have been developing successful multiplication and training concepts for over 20 years in a network with the best lean implementations in Germany, thus ensuring sustainability in their own plants. Looking over the fence and cross-company exchange is a decisive success factor here.
